To create an Sales Order following master data are prerequisite:

1. Customer Master

2. Material Master

3. Price Master

To create an Sales Order following Customization are prerequisite:

1. Configuration of Sales Order type / can also use stansard order type.

2. Assignment of Sales Order Type to sales area.

Assumption: Enterprise Structure is in Place.

Sales Order Creation:

Screen One:

--> Select the appropriate Order Type (Mandatory)

--> Enter Sales Organization (Optional, but recommended)

--> Enter Distribution Channel (Optional, but recommended)

--> Enter Division (Optional, but recommended)

Screen Two:

--> Enter Sold to Party

--> Enter PO no (Text field)

--> Enter Plant

--> Enter Material

--> Enter Quantity

--> Enter

Most of the data will be picked from Customer Master, Material Master, price Master, and so on.

Hope this is helpful to you.

For this you have to do your item category determination go in T-code[vov4] item category gets determined based on sales doc typeitemcategory groupusegae+higher level.

Go for new entries enter your sales document type + item category group(use NORM for standard senario) + Enter default item category (use TAN in normal senario)

Hi Ananth

For creating sales order first you have to define your document type or you can use standard doc. type OR, it is better if you define your own document type.

Do this using T-code[vov8].

Position OR -> copy it and give your own type starting with Z -> save it.

Now assign your document type to your sales area.

Goto IMG->Sls&Dist.->Sales->Sales document->Sales doc. header->Assing sales document to sales area.

If you have to use pricing in your sales order then maintain Pricing determination

using T-code [ovkk].

To create sales order using your own document type use T-code [va01]

enter your doc. type. sales area and fill all the relevant field in the sales order.

HI ananth,

When you create a sales document you also need to do the following assignemnts:

1. assign sales doc type to sales area

2. detremine pricing procedure (assign document pricing procedure to sales do ctype)

3. determine item category (vov4) item category gets determined based on sales doc typeitemcategory groupusegae+higher level

so i think you need to do step 3 to solve your proble.

REWARD IF IT HELPS

Hi Ananth,

For creating a sales order you need to define your sales document type in transaction VOV8 and then your item category in Transaction VOV7.

After defining both of them you have to assign your item category to the combination of sales order and item category grp.This item category grp is put in material master.

The path is spro-sd-sales-sales item-assign item categories.

You also need to define your pricing otherwise you won't be able to proceed with your sales order..

You also need to define your customer master.

Then you goto VA01 and put your customer number and material number and rest of the things would be picked automatically from your master data.
